From
the #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen comes a new
thriller that will have Eve Duncan questioning everything she thought
she knew about her family and her past

One woman held captive for decades …

Another one freed by the truth …

Forensic
sculptor Eve Duncan knows what it's like to be haunted by the past.
For years after her daughter Bonnie was stolen from her, she fought for
closure. But now as she's striving to begin anew, she can't shake the
feeling that something terrible is about to happen — or maybe already
has. When her mother, Sandra, asks for help in finding a missing friend
named Beth Avery, Eve is sure that she's hiding something. It’s odd
that Sandra would get involved at all, and the fact that she adamantly
refuses to go to the police for help reinforces Eve’s suspicions that
something is very wrong.

Eve learns that Beth has been
locked away in a mental hospital for years, which makes it even harder
to understand how she could have disappeared. As Sandra reluctantly
reveals small pieces of the truth about Beth's identity, Eve is shocked
to discover that their lives are strangely entwined, and Beth's
disappearance now puts them all in grave danger.

Desperate,
Eve enlists a secret weapon to pick up Beth's trail: rogue profiler,
Kendra Michaels. With an uncanny ability to detect clues and solve
puzzles, Kendra begins to uncover the bizarre circumstances of Beth's
escape from what should have been the safety of her hospital room. Beth
is on the run, and as her mind clears -- detoxing from the drugs that
have held her prisoner -- she begins to see the threads of a twisted
plot within the powerful Avery family, threatening to destroy Beth and
anyone else who might jeopardize the high-stakes game that is already in
play. Sleep No More is Iris Johansen at her absolute best.

A
woman has vanished while digging a dinosaur bone bed in the remote
wilderness of Canada. Somehow, the only evidence has made its way to the
inbox of Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, over two thousand miles
away in Boston. She has no idea why. But as events unfold with alarming
speed, Scarpetta begins to suspect that the paleontologist’s
disappearance is connected to a series of crimes much closer to home: a
gruesome murder, inexplicable tortures, and trace evidence from the last
living creatures of the dinosaur age.

When she turns
to those around her, Scarpetta finds that the danger and suspicion have
penetrated even her closest circles. Her niece Lucy speaks in riddles.
Her lead investigator, Pete Marino, and FBI forensic psychologist and
husband, Benton Wesley, have secrets of their own. Feeling alone and
betrayed, Scarpetta is tempted by someone from her past as she tracks a
killer both cunning and cruel.

This is Kay Scarpetta as
you have never seen her before. The Bone Bed is a must read for any fan
of this series, or an ideal starting point for new readers.
